During inital install of M6, yast2 sound config crashed and the deskop started as expected. The desktop effects were disabled in the gnome control panel. Later I rebooted and yast noticed the crash, and I went through the second stage install again. This time without crash. The the desktop started, and all was black except the mouse pointer. So for me its not fixed. If I knew how to disable the GNOME desktop effects manually, it may make the difference. Nelson, please double check if it really works for you. I dont know if fglrx is part of the default M6 install. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Nelson, please double check if it really works for you. I dont know if fglrx is part of the default M6 install.

Indeed, fglrx isn't a part of the default install, it's the official ATI driver (FireGL), from which version 11.1 works out of the box for Factory without patching. When I reported this bug, it did not matter if effects were enabled or not (I think they are disabled by default). Since kernel update 2.6.37-12-desktop, I no longer had problems with radeon DRM driver (during the same days there was also a Mesa update, I'm not sure which one solved it, but one of them did it). M6 LiveCD GNOME also has an identical behavior and requires a 'nomodeset' if running liveCD. On a install system I didn't had those problems. There is though probably a different thing between our systems, I'm not running compiz shipped on M6, I'm running 0.9.2.1 git snapshot from the glib mainloop branch (the version I'm using for Unity implementation from home:ketheriel:ayatana), as I need it for Unity integration. I also know that the 0.9.2.1 from X11:Compiz does work also (with Radeon DRM and FireGL). I would suggest you try the compiz version on X11:Compiz and see if that solves your problem ;) (OFF-TOPIC: If you eventually get to use FireGL, you might want to hack /usr/bin/compiz-manager and add 'fglrx' to the driver WHITELIST, so that compiz-manager can properly check the available resources and use them). -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
